From his early life in Myra (modern‑day Turkey) to his role as a bishop, this video unpacks the true story of Saint Nicholas. His secret gift‑giving, his legendary miracles, and his fearless defence of the persecuted. We separate historical fact from later myth, tracing how the real Saint Nicholas slowly transformed into the modern Santa Claus through centuries of folklore, art, and European Christmas custom.
Whether you’re interested in the history of Santa Claus, early Christianity, or the origins of Christmas, this Saint Nicholas documentary offers a clear, engaging look at the man behind the myth.
